Mortal Combat

Mortal Combat.
San FRAScIsco, CAL, Dec. 9.-Miss Ver-
mona Baldwin. who gaiued some notoriety
not long ago by her attempt to shoot Lucky
Baldwin, whom she claimed as relative,
and who, she says, betrayed her, has again
attracted attention TO herself by sending
a challege to mortal combat to young
Hearst, editor OF the Examiner and son OF
United States Senator Hearst. Hearst pub
lished an article in the Examiner rejecting
somewhat upon Miss Baldwin, and she
replied with a challenge, after having
designated him as 'smean coward" In
her challenge she says: II dare you to
meet me on the Mexican frontier with re-
peating rifles. / would wi lipgly pay all
expenses, but, having no funds, am COM
PEELED to ask you to defray them. l will
permit you to choose your own seconds in
San Francisco, while will wait until | get
to Mexico, where l will have no difficulty
in finding real gentlemen" Hearst has
paid no attention TO the challenge, and in
all probability will not.

A few days ago there occurred near
Dowdy, in Madison county, eight miles
from Athens, the most atrocious crime ever
committed in this section. On last Tuesday
a colored woman by the name of Eberhart
had child years old severely beaten by
two colored boys, aged 6 and II years.
After they committed the deed they in
formed the child's mother of what they had
done, and told her that next day they were
going to whip the child to death. The
mother, thinking nothing of the matter
went as usual to her work, leaving the child
at home. During her absence the young
fiends came, and with sticks, rocks and
being mashed into a jelly. The young
murderers then went to where the mother
was at work and told her of what they had
done, The woman returned home only to
find their story true. Great excitement
prevails in the section of the murder among
the negroes. The child was buried without
an inquest being held.
The Atlanta City Court was the scene of
quite a sensational row Tuesday. The
Evening Capitol thus describes it: "Sadie
Lyons, another frail but decidedly unfair
female, was arraigned for disorderly con-
duct and using profane language on the
same occasion and at the same place as Liz
zie jackson. A young negro boy was the
first witness to be called, and as soon as he
had made his statement Sadie faced him,

night, and on the following day he
was elected to that position by the
joint convention of the General AS

Bate before the joint convention:
Mr.. Chairman: Long years ago,
when my brow was mantled with the
blush and freshness of boyhood, and
while attending the literary depart
ment of Cumberland University, my
beloved alma mater, there came a
pale and delicate-looking young man
who asked to be matriculated in that
now famous law school, founded at
Lebanon by those famous lawyers
and instructors, Judges Abram Caru-
theirs and Nathan Green. Theyouth-
fui stranger was as modest and gentle
in his bearing as a young maiden. 1t
soon became nOised among his associ-
ates and the younger members of the
college fraternity that the stranger
had, although but a boy himself in
appearance, essayed the labors Of a
man. Under the rooftree of his wild
owed mother he had read the history
of illustrious men, and his heart had
become inspired with the genial
warmth of patriotic fires. The story
of "Roland brave and Oliver" had ro-
named his young and tender mind
with the fires of ambition. Bright,
active and warm-hearted, the news
had reached the humble mansion OF
his mother that his country was en-
gagged in war and needed her sons on
the battlefield. Below the age OF
manhood, the stripping stepped for
ward and enrolled his name upon the
muster-roll of his country and march
ed with his flag to the turbid waters
of the Rio Grande, and crossing into
the land of the enemy, with his brave
comrade, he aided in the planting OF
his country's FLAG in the halls of the
Montezumas.

WE have been informed through a
circular from Mr.. r.. p. Baker, editor
of the Sparta Expositor, that a bill
will be introduced before the present
Legislature to fix a uniform price for
all legal advertising, and making the
publishers receipt for payment of the
advertising the necessary proof that
the publication has been properly
made. The legislators certainly owe
it to the newspapers of the State to
pass this bill promptly. The opera
ton of such a law would work hard
ship to no one. The advertising fees
in ordinary cases amount to but a few
dollars, and can easily be paid when
the work is done, but it is quite a tax
on a publisher to carry from one to
three hundred dollars worth on his
books for years at a time. County
newspaper publishers do more work
gratis for their towns, counties, and
states than any other class of men,
and they should be paid promptly for
the little legal advertising done.
